gtm seems to be exactly what I seek and a *wonderful*
program!

Only two problems:

    1. I've yet to find a simple 'hello world'
       (!) example.

    2. The many complicated examples (earthquakes and
       so on) I've found I cannot execute, as I don't
       have the *data*.

As you say on K2 Summit day when you are first in line
with 20 people behind you: "Hey ­ where is the gear?
Where is the equipment?"

Uh-oh!
